Why generate your own French subjunctive cards

Most people learning the subjunctive in French get stuck on the same two things: knowing which expressions trigger it, and memorizing the irregular stems. French subjunctive flashcards work well for this because each card asks for one form or one trigger, and repetition fixes the pattern over time.

Cards cover triggers like il faut que, il est possible que, and verbs of wanting or doubting
Irregular stems such as sois, aie, sache, and fasse get their own cards
Spaced repetition brings back the forms you keep missing
Export to Anki or CSV is available on paid plans

Example French subjunctive flashcards

Subjunctive form of être with jeque je sois

Subjunctive form of avoir with nousque nous ayons. Avoir has an irregular stem, so it does not follow the regular -ions pattern.

Subjunctive stem of savoir with jeque je sache. Savoir uses the stem sach- in the subjunctive.

Does je ne pense pas que take the subjunctive?Yes, a negated expression of belief triggers it, as in je ne pense pas que ce soit vrai.

Trigger type for il faut queExpression of necessity. It is necessary that, so the following verb uses the subjunctive, as in il faut que tu fasses.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Flashcards come from the grammar notes and examples you already have, so the verbs and triggers match your course.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart, so irregular stems stick.

Photos of pages work

Snap a page from your textbook and the text is read with recognition, so you do not have to retype anything.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file, or a photo of the page covering the subjunctive.

Generate the cards

DeckOwl writes question-and-answer cards for triggers, irregular stems, and tricky verbs like être and avoir.

Study on a schedule

Review in the browser with spaced repetition, then add more cards as your course moves on.

If you were hoping for a printable sheet someone else made, that can be a starting point, but a ready-made list rarely matches the verbs your teacher used. DeckOwl builds the set from your own handout, so the cards follow your syllabus and the examples you actually practiced.

Start with the most common triggers, such as il faut que, vouloir que, and expressions of doubt, then add the irregular stems once the pattern feels automatic.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for French subjunctive practice?

Around 20 to 40 cards is a good first set, covering the main triggers and about ten irregular stems. Add more once you can recall those reliably, since fewer, well-chosen cards usually beat a long list you skim.

Should I learn the subjunctive stems or the triggers first?

Learn the triggers first, because they tell you when the subjunctive is needed at all. Then drill the stems for the most common verbs, starting with être, avoir, aller, and faire.
